  • Patent number: 8836329
    Abstract: A method and apparatus generate a pre-polarizing magnetic field having a rise-time of less than about 10 microseconds and/or a fall-time of less than about 10 microseconds for immersing a tissue sample in the pre-polarized magnetic field to polarize an animal tissue sample whereby magnetic gradient and/or radio-frequency pulses may be applied in order to read out the location and/or state of the spins. A method and apparatus deliver such magnetic fields through planar coils. A method and apparatus enable guidance and propulsion of magnetic fluids.

  • Patent number: 8466680
    Abstract: A magnetic field generator includes a power source and a segmented or un-segmented coil connected to the power source to generate a time-varying magnetic field. Energy is applied to the coil so that the coil generates a time-varying magnetic field gradient with a magnitude of at least 1 milliTesla per meter and a rise-time of less than 10 microseconds. The coil may be comprised of overlapping, non-overlapping or partially overlapping coil segments that may individually energized to further improve the operating characteristics of the coil to further decrease bio-effects in magnetic resonance imaging through the use of reduced pulse lengths and multi-phasic magnetic gradient pulses.
